Do you think these salamanders are the SAME or DIFFERENT species? Check out this amazing phenomenon in nature!
We'll explore polymorphism in the eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) by examining the most common red-striped phase, the lead-backed (anerythristic) phase, and the yellow-backed (xanthic) phase.
Thanks for watching!

Anyone else enjoy herping?

@mellewedin8221 2 года назад

I do!!! I found one today it's Easter. I took it home I do not normally take from the wild. I can not find cap bred ones. I plan on make a native home for it, I keep plenty of foods for the guy.

Loved this polymorphism info. Thanks.

Oh, go for the date. I know if I were younger (much younger), I’d be fascinated to talk about salamanders. Who wouldn’t prefer polymorphism over typical pick-up lines? Good video. Enjoyed it.

Haha, okay. Noted. I will use salamander polymorphism chit-chat for my next pick-up lines!

I have lead back, red , and orange in my personal collection! They are the coolest little salamanders.

This was a great video! I was looking for the explanation and more info on the "phases" . Excellent!

Glad you found what you were looking for Amy! Cheers.

Just the video I needed to understand these guys! Found one and ended up hunting them for hours! My best finds were: A pure extremely bright red, and a pure bright yellow! I really want to go back out and catch some pure yellows to breed, and see if they have any more! I think its my favorite colour so far c:

You're a little creepy but I liked this video. Not much info about this species on RU-vid. I have found White-backs in NJ and Erythristics in VT but I never even heard of or saw the Xanthic morph. Does it remain yellow throughout it's entire life or does the pigment fade? Interesting.

@KoawNature 3 года назад

I've found xanthic morphs very young to adult; I believe this trait remains as such throughout life.
